Abstract (en)

Disclosed is a method for improving fiber softness of high yield pulp, including a high yield pulp; the method comprises: treating the high yield pulp with ozone; and treating with cellulase; the disclosure offers the following advantages: The high yield pulp in the present disclosure is sequentially treated with ozone and cellulase. Removal of lignin on the surface with ozone increases the softness of the fiber and loosens the fiber structure. Therefore, treating the fiber with ozone can open a "channel" for the entry of cellulase. Then the cellulase allows water molecules to enter the fiber, and the distance between fiber macromolecule chains increases, which causes the fiber to deform with reduced stiffness, thereby improving the softness. Therefore, by treating with cellulase based on the pretreatment of high-yield pulp with ozone, the present disclosure increases the accessibility of cellulase and fiber. Besides, ozone as a green agent can improve the softness of the fiber without or with little pollution to the environment.
